Creating safe spaces for black trans people: A live Q&A on Friday

Meet three Atlanta activists raising millions and making a difference

With the calls for racial justice and equality for black transgender people, three campaigns to raise money to fund housing and safe spaces for trans people in Atlanta are getting uplifted – to the tune of millions of dollars. 

The Homeless Black Trans Women Fund is nearing $2.8 million. Help Fund A Black Queer Owned Community Space! is approaching $75,000. And the Trans Housing Atlanta Program wants is reaching for $150,000.

What’s feeding the success of these campaigns and what will they do with the money?

We’ll explore those issues and more on Friday in the next episode of Q Conversations, our live virtual Q&A series. Our conversation is with the trans people organizing and working on those campaigns – Jesse Pratt López, Taylor Alxndr and Justine Ingram. 

We’ll discuss how they started, what the efforts will fund, why they are needed, transgender inclusion and visibility in the ongoing racial justice protests and whether LGB Atlanta is listening to its T brothers and sisters. We’ll also answer your questions. 

Register for the July 17 episode of Q Conversations. (The event is free but registration is required.)
